The series begins in the early 20th century. Mr. Ostarowski, the stationmaster at Bukowiec, is raising his daughter Janka alone. She is clearly exhausted by life in the countryside. She feels lonely and unloved. Her only solace comes from acting in amateur theater and reading Shakespeare's plays. Meanwhile, Andrzej Grzesikiewicz, one of the local "good matches," proposes to her. To her father's surprise and anger, Janka refuses. She suspects that with such a husband, she will face the fate of "Madame Bovary." Curiosity and ambition lead her to take a desperate step. She travels to Warsaw to try her luck as an actress.
